I really hope Sylvia KTFO Vera. People always dump on Big Tim for two and a half boring fights(I'm counting the Monson fight as only half boring). I don't get why people expect a champion to go out there, duck their heads and swing for the fences. These guys have familys to take care of. If they want to fight the safe way against a dangerous opponent then so be it.

Thats how I feel, The champ has to defend his belt. It's the challengers job to take the belt from the champ. I'm not saying that I enjoy boring fights but it's the Champs job to hold onto the belt by whatever means necassary.

Tim all the way, Everyone teased him bout wearing that belt everywhere and now most off them are betting against him which is stupid Tim loved that belt and you are going to see him eat people alive tell he gets it back.

IMO that is the stupidest reason to insult him. It just shows he wants the belt so bad and when he finally got it it's not a problem that he wanted it so badly and he was enjoying it.

I'm not the biggest Tim Sylvia fan but if he won I wouldn't be that upset about it! A lot of people were giving Sylvia flak because he gotten too cautious in his fight. Even I talk about how he gotten too cautious in his fight (using the Monson fight as an example) but a lot of other people were saying far worse things like "oh he's an ugly ogre who uses his height as an advantage." I think a lot of those people went to sherdog where the other creepy fanboys hang out! But it really seems like he didn't have any more fans left in the world?

But anyways, I was wondering if there are any Tim Sylvia fans who out there or people who respect him as a fighter that will be rooting for him at UFC 77?

NO.
They are gonna have to feed Sylvia a bunch of slow big guys, he cant handle people with skills, or speed.

skills yes (though he didnt show them last fight), but speed? NO, dont make me laugh.

maybe you should watch some of his fights before the year 2007. I'm not sure if you know or not, but MMA has actually been around for more than a year. Andre is one of the faster HW's in the game, the guy moves like a WW.
